Project title: Panublix weaving enterprise digital enabler, or "PWEDE”
Focal landscape: Isabela (Sierra madre mountain ranges)

Panublix is a collaborative platform in development that provides tropical yarns, textiles and artisan crafts to designers and brands by creating a transparent and impactful digital sourcing experience. Based in Iloilo City, Philippines, Panublix comes from the Hiligaynon word, "Panubli-on", which means heritage. We work directly with weavers and garment makers to make them enterprise-ready for commerce and trade. Driven to contribute to a circular economy and move away from the industry’s extractive practices, we are building towards a vision of a thriving Southeast Asian tropical textile and artisan craft economy by 2030 - a future that respects culture, community and biodiversity.
